Washed mine and then spent the rest of the day buffing out some door scuffs.

Some people have no respect for other people's property

Don't drill it! Get a GrimmSpeed plate relocation kit.

Got TIS and cheap OBD-II cable to work on a low-end Win-7 laptop & changed some convenience settings:

Disabled DRLs
Switched to one-key-button-press-unlocks-both-doors
Switched to two-key-button-presses-opens-trunk (though I might change this again to one really long press opens trunk)

Thinking about shortening the interior light on time when a door is opened next

Fun stuff...

We're the guys who called in the army, so YMMV.
Anything that causes white-out conditions is pretty big for us.

BTW - I'm north of HWY7, and for some reason, snow generally doesn't like to go south of Markham. North of 16, people had their flashers on because visibility was pretty poor.

Ah gotcha. I was downtown and there were a few squalls, and that's about it.

Would doing 8.5 front and 9.5 rear lose the balance of this car. I want to close the gap without messing with the stock suspension set up at all. approx. 1 inch. since i will probably be running 255 back and 235 front. does poking out make it rub? I am getting one with offset 40

depends on who you talk to and what you're looking for. i wanted more grip and got it. if you want the tail-happy slide-around feel that the stock tires have, you'd lose it. some don't like staggered setups for various reasons, some do for their own reasons.

the gap isn't going to close unless you get larger diameter tires, then your speedo will be off. i stuck to as close to the stock diameter as possible, and closed the gap by lowering the car.

i don't know whether that setup would rub as i never ran it with the stock height - i lowered my car before i got my wheels.
